Stephanie visits Jackie with the intention of appealing to her good side. Stephanie asks Jackie to control Nick and end his attempts at blackmailing her family. Jackie is stunned that Stephanie still refuses to admit that she's ever in the wrong and taunts her that she'll either lose her company or go to jail. Nick finds Brooke in his office at Marone Industries and she asks him not to punish the entire Forrester family for Stephanie's behavior. Brooke is angry when Storm arrives to represent Nick. Eric calls a meeting at Forrester Creations, with Ridge, Kristen, Thorne, Felicia, Rick and Bridget in attendance. Eric shows them documents in which, if they sign, they resign from the company, sell all of their stock to Marone Industries and are unable to work in the fashion business for a further ten years. Nick and Storm arrive, with Brooke begging Nick not to pursue his plan. Eric asks his family if they are willing to sacrifice their legacy in order to protect Stephanie.
